But scary as it sounds, the procedure is pretty routine, and it not only saved Nadine's life but enabled her to go about being an active child, like she never had heart problems at all. If any child were denied this simply because of a lack of money, then it's pretty tragic.

The other thing I found out through her case is - there are so many kids who have CHD! It's stunning how packed the heart clinics are (at least at KKH). I'm sure among them there are people who would need financial assistance, and treatment cost is a real concern.

Anyway, here are the 12 participating restaurants, their locations, and what they feature:

If you order a whole signature carrot cake from PS.Cafe, 70% of the proceeds will go directly to the NUH Kids Heart Fund. Cocotte’s Basque Cake and Epicurious’ Red Velvet Chocolate Cake are also available for purchase whole, while Torte’s Banana Chocolate Torte Muffins (box of eight) are available for takeaway.

You could also make direct donations to the heart fund, and receive income tax deductions of 2.5 times the donation value (if you are a Singapore resident). Nothing is too modest as every dollar counts. Call 6772 2980 or 6772 6909, email giving@nuhs.edu.sg or visit their website.
